Colourful chocolates to beat Blue Monday

July 05, 2021

Blue Monday is claimed to be the most depressing day of the year. Don’t let this gloomy day get to you and enjoy the ultimate comfort food: these colourful modular chocolates called ‘Complements‘. A delicious treat for both the eyes and the tastebuds. 

Inspired by the complementary relationship with their clients, design agency Universal Favourite first conceptualised these little gems as an end-of-the-year gift for the people they work with. They collaborated with Bakedown Cakery to create modular staircase shapes, using 3D printing.

COLOR INFLUENCE

Undoubtedly delicious alone, the geometric forms have been specifically designed to interlock into a bite-size cube when combined with another flavour. The unexpected flavours are uniquely mouthwatering and greater than the sum of their parts. When 12 flavours were selected, it was time to decorate these little sculptures in an exuberant colour palette and painterly finishes like airbrushing, dipping and marbling, to create a natural contrast to the geometric shapes.
